Meanwhile, Chairman of the 2023 Kapnas Forum Erwin Suryadi stated that the National Capacity Forum was one of ’the efforts of SKK Migas to strengthen the capacity of business players, manufacturers, and vendors, as well as MSMEs to support the upstream oil and gas industry.
This is in accordance with the plans and strategies for Indonesia Oil and Gas 4.0, one of the targets of which is to increase the multiplier effect of the upstream oil and gas industry.
"We are focusing on this effort by encouraging the concept of business integration between business actors, manufacturers, and vendors, as well as MSMEs as a support for the upstream oil and gas industry. The potential for upstream oil and gas has many aspects and can be integrated with each other, especially in increasing national capacity," he remarked.
